Mr Norris arrived by the Sam Mendel, and brings with him all the most approved and modern appliances of the photographic art, and purposes to make a speciality of the new American process called ferrotype. By this process the portrait is taken on a thin steel plate, covered with an enamel surface, and the photographic chemical is incorporated with this enamel by a heating process, so that it is said the picture becomes indestructible. The ferrotype process was exhibited to us yesterday, and we can speak well for the care of the artist, the quickness of the process, and the accuracy of the pictures taken.
At one sitting Mr Norris takes three pictures by simply shifting the camera slide, and this enables him to multiply the portrait, required to meet demand on the shortest notice. The price of these pictures is also considerably below others, and Mr Norris bids fair to receive that share of public support he solicits.

The Divorce Court.
(By Telegraph - Own Correspondent.)
Wellington, this day.
A case of some interest to Aucklanders is being heard in the Divorce Court today. The respondent, Edward H. Norris, photographer, Sydney, was at one time living in Auckland, from whom Alice Julia Norris seeks dissolution of marriage on the grounds of desertion, cruelty, and adultery with one Annie Russell, now in Sydney.
The petition has not opposed, but the husband wrote to the Judge stating that he was obliged to leave his wife on account of her ungovernable temper. A rule nisi was granted.

Norris V. Norris.
This was a petition by Alice Norris for a dissolution of her marriage with Edward Handford Norris, on the grounds of desertion and cruelty.
Mr Gully appeared for the petitioner.
Mrs Norris deposed that her maiden name was Brooks. She was married in London in 1877 to Edward Norris. She remained in London with her husband about five months, and then they came to New Zealand. They lived together for about two years, and then Mr Norris sold off his business as a photographer and went from Auckland to Gisborne, thence to Wellington, and to Sydney, leaving her at Auckland against her wish, and without any means of subsistence.
Soon after they arrived in Auckland her husband began to illtreat her. At times he used to strike her, and to stay out at night drinking. He wrote to her from Gisborne, Napier, and Wellington, asking her for money. He went to Sydney, she believed with a woman named Russell. Witness was not able to take proceedings sooner because she had not the means of doing so. She had been earning her living since he left, and had sent him money three times. Robert Findley Blakie, general dealer, of Wellington, deposed that he lived in Sydney from 1879 up to July last year. Mrs Norris sent him a photograph of her husband and asked him to find out what he was doing. Norris was mechanician at a theatre in Sydney. Witness knew him well. He lived with a woman who was known as his wife. In answer to a question put by witness, Norris said he had been in New Zealand. The woman living with him, witness believed, was a ballet dancer. A decree nisi was granted.

A revolver, which was found in the possession of Charles Pierce, who was convicted the other day of larceny, has since been identified by Mr. Steele, of Auckland, who was taking photographic views here some time ago. It appears that Mr. Steele lost his revolver while stopping at the Royal Hotel, and very little doubt remains but that it was stolen from there by the prisoner.

Pulman
We noticed to-day in Mrs Pulman's photographic establishment, Shortland-street, several life-like portraits of his Excellency the Governor, Lady Fergusson, Captain Fergusson and lady, also of the Rev Mr Hare, in excellent style. Mr Steele has been eminently successful in his art, and has executed the portraits with remarkable fidelity, and in a manner which has given much satisfaction to Sir James and Lady Fergusson.

We have frequently had occasion for expressing our satisfaction at the production of our city photographic artists, and on Saturday we were particularly struck on seeing two beautiful views, of large size, of St John's Wood, Epsom, the country residence of Edwin Hesketh, Esq. These views were taken by Mr Steele, with numerous others, and may be seen at Mrs Pulman's photographic rooms, Shortland-street. The views are distinct, shewing the house and grounds with the various lights and shade, flowers and avenues, and form an excellent pair of pictures for the drawing room. The sketches are carefully executed and highly creditable to the artist.

In Reed and Brett's forthcoming almanac for 1876, will appear a graphic sketch of the district of Rotomahana, a part of New Zealand visited by tourists for the beauty of the scenery, the lake and its wonderful terrace formed by the invisible hand of the Creator. We notice at Pulman's photographic rooms, Shortland-street, a fine collection of photos of the lake scenery, taken by the artist (Mr Steele) on the spot, which are beautifully executed, and worthy of special notice by lovers of art, and persons who may desire to send correct impressions of the beauties of New Zealand to their home friends.

At Pulman's photographic establishment in Shortland Crescent, conducted in an able manner by Mr. Steele, are now to be seen a number of views of some of our most prominent buildings. Among these the principal churches occupy a leading position, and are depicted with a faithfulness only to be arrived at by the help of the rays of light. The pictures are cheap, and should be in the possession of everyone.

The beautiful art of photography is advancing year by year, and has reached a state of perfection undreamed of a quarter of a century ago. Persons of the present day may not only possess the features of their dearest friends, but their very habitations by means of the lense. On passing Pulman's photographic establishment in Shortland-street, we were particularly struck with a series of six photographic views of the Churches of Auckland, the latest being the Churches of St. Matthew's and St. Paul's —perfect art treasures —and which will be most acceptable to citizens attached to those several places of worship. The cathedral church of St. Paul's, under the pastoral care of Rev. C. M. Nelson, is a very fine picture, and in the artist's (Mr Steele) best style. The series of ten views in the Domain embrace some of its richest scenery.
Auckland Star, volume VII, issue 1943, 11 May 1876, page 2
The fine photographic views of the Western Springs estate, in connection with the Auckland Waterworks may now be seen at Pulman's photographic rooms, Shortland-street. These views were taken by order of his Worship the Mayor, B. Tonks, Esq., and have been greatly admired by members of the City. Council. His Worship has given an order for a considerable number of these views for the South. Mr Steele, the photographer, has succeeded admirably with these views.

The romantic districts of Rotomahana, Rotorua, and the Lakes, with their natural associations, are now amongst the world's attractions, and, year by year, the number of visitors are on the increase. Poets, painters, and authors, have been struck with the unrivalled beauties and marvels of these districts, and have eulogised them in song, picture, and story. Photography also has imparted additional interest to the lake scenes by its perfect delineations of the pink and white terraces, water-falls, and geysers, decorated by the cunning hand of Nature. Without detracting from the merits of other photographic views, we may state conscientiously that Pulman's new views of the Hot Lakes, and the surrounding localities, recently taken by Mr Steel, are among the finest, for clearness of outline and minuteness of detail, that have yet been produced in this colony, and as such are worthy the notice of lovers of art and persons of taste. See advt.

We noticed in Pulman's window, Shortland street, an excellent photographic view of the new Masonic Hall, Princes-street, taken by Mr G. A. Steel, of Pulmans photographic rooms. The picture is highly satisfactory, and very striking in every respect.
